Friday

Friday was a lovely low-key evening. We had a yummy dinner with Jeremy’s
family. We tried to eat outside but the bees came and attacked us so we had to
take it inside. Then we just hung out at his parent’s house. I saw a bunch of
Jeremy’s baby photos which was so fun and we did an “I Spy” book together.

Saturday

Saturday was lovely! Jeremy and I trekked down to Utah County to go
hike to the Timpanogos caves! One of my 30 by 30 goals is to hike 30 miles and
I’m doing rather poorly. The hike was fun but goodness gracious that thing is
HARD! It’s not like it’s that far but it’s so so steep. And turns out I’m in
awful hiking shape. Whoops.

The hike up made me wonder why on earth I chose hiking as one of my
goals. But the caves at the top were worth it! It was really cool to go see
inside and see all of the different rooms. It’s crazy to think how long it
takes for those formations to form and grow. It was fun to walk around in the
cave and explore!

After the hike back down and some souvenir shopping we stopped at
JDawgs on the way back for lunch. Jeremy had never been before so it was fun to
introduce him to one of my Provo favorites!!

Saturday afternoon I went to a bridal shower for my friend
Kassidy. It was held in a park and her
friends that threw it did such a cute job decorating!! They decorated with
succulents and old time-y looking books. Such a fun idea! We even got to take a succulent home! Fingers
crossed I don’t kill it….

After the bridal shower, Jeremy and I had planned to go to the
Ferragosto festival that was being held in Sugarhouse. I was super excited for
a fun Italian festival but sadly it turned out to be pretty lame. Boo. There
wasn’t really much to see or do, and the food didn’t look that great. We were
both rather disappointed. So instead we ended up getting pizza and watching
Suits! Even though the festival was a bust, it was a fun, relaxing night!

Sunday

Sunday was a less than lovely day. I had the worst headache most of the
day. Thankfully though, it was not a migraine. Basically I lounged around all
day-trying anything and everything I could think of to get rid of the dumb
thing. Drugs, more drugs, Epsom salt bath, Menthol rub on my temples, Coke and Advil.
Anyone out there have any great headache remedies?! Send them my way please!!

It somewhat eased up in the evening so I crashed my parents Empty
Nester dinner club and had dinner with them and then went to visit Jeremy for a
minute. It’s so great having him live so close!!!

Up Ahead

The week should be a good one! Ladies Dinner Out, Junior League
committee meeting, Jeremy time, gym time, and our work summer party!! YAY!

04 August 2014

Friday was a lovely low-key evening. I am apparently 90 years old and
decided to purchase a Happenings book. You know, those books full of coupons to
random places?! So we picked a restaurant from there and went out to dinner. We
went to Millcreek Bar and Grill. Kind of a random, empty place but the food was
decent. After wards we worked on catching up on Scandal!! Does anyone watch
that show?!? We’re hooked!

Saturday

Saturday morning I worked a volunteer shift at the Junior League Women
Helping Women closet. It’s a great service provided to women entering the
workforce. It’s essentially a store full of wear-to-work type clothes where
women can come pick out outfits for interviewing or jobs, free of charge. I’m
always reluctant to go on a Saturday morning, but in the end I’m always glad
that I went. It makes me appreciate things that I generally take for granted.

Saturday afternoon I hung out with Jeremy and then we went to a wedding
reception Saturday early evening. The reception was at these really cool
gardens! It was fun to walk around and see all of the plants and trees. And of
course it was fun to see the new bride and groom! After the reception we went to
dinner. I finally won one week of our workout bet!! Hooray!! So my dinner pick
was the Bohemian. It’s a great Czech/German/brewery type place and their food
is AWESOME. I’ve discovered that the breweries around here generally have
really fab food!

Afterwards we went home and watched Aladdin! After seeing the play on
Broadway, we decided we need to have an Aladdin marathon and watch all 3 original
movies! One down, two to go!

Sunday

Sunday morning I made a not-so-delicious breakfast. I was really
craving lemon ricotta pancakes but the recipe I used was just not great. I will
have to continue my quest for a good recipe!! Church was good. Sunday night we
had family dinner and played Phase 10. Sadly I came in second place to Jeremy,
who pretty much dominated the entire game. It was a great Sunday!

Up Ahead

The week should be a fun one! My cousin Chris from NYC is coming to
visit, Allison and her fam will be in town, and Jeremy is moving!
